Quick Links for ESA
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) establishes a program for conserving endangered and threatened species and their habitats. The ESA affords broad protection for species of plants and animals that are listed as endangered or threatened. Tribal governments, among others, may petition the FWS of NMFS to list species, and may comment on proposed listings, critical habitat designations, and recovery plans. Tribes may also enter into conservation agreements regarding species considered candidates for listing, with a view toward obviating the need to list the species.
